Revised Rules for Electoral Commission
The draft law of the Independent Election Authority for 2026 focuses on modifying the competencies of the Board of Commissioners in managing the electoral process. This includes granting it the authority to cancel or postpone voting in specific polling centers if a malfunction occurs that threatens the integrity of the elections, as well as setting the dates for various elections. Digital electoral campaigning has been explicitly incorporated into the scope of regulation and oversight. There have also been adjustments to the procedures for announcing results, now emphasizing the final outcomes and organizing objections. Additionally, the eligibility criteria for Authority employees' candidacy have been amended from an absolute ban to allowing candidacy under certain conditions, such as requesting leave and not exploiting their position. The number of seats and the distribution of districts remain unchanged. The Board of Commissioners' responsibilities have been expanded to include matters related to political parties. These amendments are still in the legislative process and have not yet altered the number or distribution of seats.
